Stef N I went to a new model show over in Bushey, near Watford. A very good standard of models and Hannants, London had a good stall with a few others. Didn't get any photos but I will get some at Letchworth next week. Picked up a bargain set of books, a fiver each. 👍👍 #histscalemodels #scalemodels
Just Alpal Yeeaaahhhh...I may have pushed over the top while attempting to attach it. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Many swearings later, it's up and kinda straightish. Got a wing strut on too...(🤔 I know...)😅👍👍🍻 #italiagb #histscalemodels
Ian Miles 🐌🪖After the Churchill is finished and before the Comet, thinking of a post WW2 farm Universal Carrier. (Left-hand rive might be a challenge! #histscalemodels #tamiya #scalemodeling
宍戸刑馬 SHISHIDO Keima British Churchill Mk.VII tank commander, TAMIYA 1/48 scale. Painting is almost done. イギリス軍 チャーチル Mk.VII戦車 戦車長、 タミヤ 1/48スケール。 おおむね塗り上がりました。 もう少し攻めたい気持ちもありますが、 どうも根気が続きません。 #scalemodel #プラモデル #プラモ #modelbuilding #スケールモデル #HistScalemodels #TAMIYA #模型 #nerdlings #タミヤ #フィギュア塗装
Icarus.Scale.Models The 1/48 Portuguese SAR Merlin is ✨finally ✨ starting to come together and actually look the part. Outside of the folded chairs, the cabin bits were all 3d printed. I'm still sorting out the rescue basket. #HistScaleModels #buildthestash #scalemodel #modelaircraft
Mark Barnes The turret/gun house of the Meng AUF1 is looking quite colourful. Most of the detail will be visible through the side doors and the rear loading doors will be open. It's a big old lump already. #histscalemodels
Slightly Caddish Continuing #ItaliaGB with a modified Semovente. This will be much faster than the Alcione. #histscalemodels
firepuffer50.bsky.social The Bugatti progresses. Dashboard now fixed ( incl. glass in the instruments!) still weeks to go on this looking at the instructions but I’m not rushing this one, particularly on the weathering. I really want it to look like the ‘28 Targa Florio car #histscalemodels #italiaGB
Roger Hunt Finally managed to get the wheels on the Leningrad Tiger. I’ve test fitted the tracks and decided I need to introduce a few darker tones. Next is some wet effects, then a small base. Fingers crossed it’s ready for Scale Model World in a few weeks. #histscalemodels #scalemodels
Ghost A friend of mine makes amazing miniatures for Dolls Houses so I persuaded her to make me some 1:35 WW2 French wine bottles…she even painted and applied historic wine labels…stunning #histscalemodels
Fly Past Rush Circling back to a method I tried out a number of years ago to make the F-4 upper curtain ejection handles from twisted black & yellow threads. I will do up a nail jig to form up the circles after the thread glue dries. Seatbelts still need paint work as well🤞🏻 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels
James After a break, I pushed on with the Takom M51 Sherman, finally finishing the tracks. I reckon 800+ parts in them alone. And today, priming and painting done. A bit of a breeze & some sun helped. Now it’s a case of suspension on, wheels on, decals & weathering. #histscalemodels #scalemodels
Bish 🏴🇮🇱🇺🇦 That time of the year is here again where I get my Stash together in one room. Have decided to only keep 100 Kits as that should workout Five a year for Twenty years. Video to show how much hoarding I have done. #HistScaleModels
Robs Scale Models 40 pieces and the breech is built, primed and test fitted, a lot of work for something that will be barely visible. Now to research what colours it should all be and get painting #HistScaleModels

MVS Works De Vliegende Hollander part 1: Fokker S.11, 1/72, Kovozavody Prostejov. #finishedkits #scalemodels #scalemodeling #histscalemodels
Jim. Got the gloss coat on and decals, sealed them with gloss. I'll let this dry and do some weathering then dumb it all down with a matt varnish. Andys Hobby 1/16 M3/M3A1 Halftrack. The bonnet decal is interesting in that the centre is coloured. #histscalemodels
Scale Aircraft Stuff Spotted in this week's uploads #3 One of those hard to find Wingnut Wings kits, a 1/32 AMC DH.2 https://www.kingkit.co.uk/product/wingnut-wings-aircraft-1-32-32606-amc-dh-2-lanoe-hawker #histscalemodels

Scale Aircraft Stuff Spotted in this week's uploads #1 The Reggiane Re.2006 - an Italian fighter with a decent (German) engine, but sadly never flew. This kit is in 1:72 scale, from RS Models. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/407220444623 #histscalemodels
Jan Ondrousek Seriously, how do you even put it together..? I get the letters are sub-constructions, and i need to heavily sand the original parts of the model. But this guide gives me no info on the actual places where to glue the parts in F section together 🤔 3h later I'm nowhere further #histscalemodels
Albert Lee The tiny #Taiwan ese F-104 pilot is always making eye contact with the camera, them's the rules #histscalemodels
Albert Lee Parts fit on the Freedom Tomcat is pretty good despite the added complexity over the Hasegawa and AFV Club eggplanes #histscalemodels
Paul Finished, ICM 1,35 Italian infantry figures WWI. #Histscalemodels #ItaliaGB
Moz I was driving passed the model shop and it happened again. Found this on my passenger seat. It's a complete mystery how it got there. #histscalemodels
Moz Excited for this. #histscalemodels
Slightly Caddish 1/72 Cant Z.1007bis 'Alcione', version is 35th Stormo B.M., 86th Gruppo, 190th Squadriglia, Brindisi, April '41. My second entry for #ItaliaGB within #histscalemodels
Jim. Thats all the parts on the kit, just a clear coat of varnish for the decals and weathering then a matt varnish to seal it in. I've had stowage on order for a while now, apparently it will be here soon. Its from Value Gear. Hmm. #histscalemodels
